Recently, the dispatch and command center of the Beijing Emergency Center received a call. The caller said in a panicked tone that a child may had an electric shock and became unconscious. The dispatcher who received the call immediately acquired the address, telephone number and other information vigilantly, and dispatch the nearest ambulance. At the same time, the dispatcher instructed the persons on the site to cut off the power supply and use insulating items, such as wooden or plastic sticks, to separate the contact between the electrical equipment and the patient. After learning that there was no breathing or heartbeat, the dispatcher quickly turned on the MPDS medical priority dispatching system and instructed the on-site personnel to perform CPR to the patient until the ambulance arrived to take over the rescue. However, the patient’s vital signs were not recovered even after emergency rescue. After inquiries, it was learned that the patient was a 17-year-old boy. When he was charging his mobile phone, electric leakage happened and he was electrocuted, which eventually led to the tragedy.

Here are some tips from 120.

1. The charging time of the mobile phone should not be too long. After being fully charged, the charger should be unplugged in time. The long time charging will seriously affect the battery life and lead to risks.

2. It is recommended to use original batteries and chargers. Inferior chargers have greater safety hazards and are prone to electric leakage. If the charger port is loose or too tight, it should be replaced immediately.

3. Do not answer the phone while charging. In an emergency, it is necessary to unplug the charger before using the phone.

4. It is necessary to choose a power strip from regular manufacturers with leakage protection. Do not let water and other liquids flow into the power strip. It is suggested to replace the wires in time when there is damage, burrs or looseness.

5. You should not charge or press the plug when your hands are wet to prevent electric shock.
